Description:
The fourth game in the now well-established Ultima series featured an improved game engine, with color graphics and better character interaction (you could now have actual conversations with NPCs). But what really makes Ultima IV shine is its radical departure from any other RPG made before or since in terms of the story and goal.

IGN's Top 100 RPGS of All Time (2017) (100 games items)" Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar is the video game as morality play.
